About this listen

I’m a hunter.

It’s what I do best—track down my prey, then walk away.

Until a woman with blazing hair and fire in her eyes consumes my every thought.

One heated look from my curvy little fox, and my obsession grows.

Some call it stalking.

I call it protection.

And now I’ve caught her, there’s no escape.

She wants her freedom, but that’s the one thing I can’t give her.

One taste isn’t enough. I crave her like a match needs a flame. All I see is Red.

Her name on my tongue like sweet wine, Her red hair in my fist, Her essence soaked into my sheets.

She’s Taken. Marked. Mine.

Trouble is, I’m not the only hound on her tail.

This is an age gap (she’s 25, he’s 38) romantic suspense featuring a plus-sized FMC on the run from a mafia boss and an obsessed, protective hero who won’t let her go. Despite the premise of the story and the dark themes that are explored, this book was surprisingly cozy and humorous.

I loved the dynamic between Poppy and Dom.Poppy, an independent woman who’s had a rough life, isn’t about to let him tell her what to do. It was amusing watching their constant battles of will. At one point, she even manages to tie him up and escape – temporarily.

The pacing kept me hooked, and I loved the Lake District setting. My only disappointment was that we didn’t see the villain get his comeuppance as it happened off page – a choice that made sense tonally, but left me wanting a bit more closure.

The duet narration was perfection. Shane East captured Dom’s dark, possessive side, while Evelyn Rose brought out Poppy’s strength and vulnerability. The spicy scenes were sizzling and the suspense gripping – it really was an immersive listen.

It’s definitely a lust-forward story, with more focus on the physical connection than the emotional one, but there’s warmth and tenderness beneath it all. If you like protective heroes, feisty heroines, sizzling spice, and authentic English accents, you should check out this book.

This book has a really captivating story! Poppy, the main character, is a dancer and waitress who’s funny, quick-witted, and super independent. Lately, she’s been going through some tough times, especially in her love life. Trust is something Poppy doesn’t easily give away.
Dom is a brooding ex-army bad boy who knows what he wants and he wants Poppy. But here’s the thing: their relationship isn’t as simple as it seems. Poppy is supposed to be just a job, not the woman Dom falls for.
I usually read fantasy books, but someone recommended this one, and I was totally hooked! The author is amazing at pulling you in right from the start and keeping you engaged all the way through. I can’t recommend this book enough for its gripping plot, funny moments, and unforgettable characters.

I so wish I had a Dominic in my life when younger. His love for Poppy was relentless from the first chapter. Maybe some of his ways seemed to be dominant but I know from fact that if you are like living in a desperate life then you sometimes make desperate decisions and Annie captures this in her storytelling so very well.
I like the fact that it is made perfectly clear that Dom is a protector not a stalker but it doesn’t make him any less hot. The chemistry is off the scale and the tie ins to other characters make you want to read everything you can.
I originally read this book when it was first published but was gifted the audiobook so decided to revisit both Poppy and Dom. I must say Evelyn and Shane brought the characters to life with a whole new experience, Evelyn giving Poppy more sass and Shane making Dominic pure filth.
A great read and like all my reviews, I give no spoilers whatsoever
